Also, if they counter pick Janna, as soon as you stun onto them, Janna should instant-cast-no-charge Tornado which counteracts the stun time. Then again, solo queue. Could work duo-queue? Hm. Would love an excuse to play my Blitz. ^^ + Show Spoiler + Personally I prefer other skins for Cait and Irelia. But if I had to choose, then Irelia since her skin has more class. as this is highly unusual, I doubt they would specifically counterpick a lane that is as unlikely as Ali/Blitz bot. And I doubt they can really play it safe to an extent where they are actually SAFE. Maybe I have watched Dyrus and ReginaId trolling a bit too often, but I cannot wreap my head around how they are possibly ever supposed to play safe against a Flash-Headbutt-Pulverize-Power-Fist-Rocket-Grab-combo. I don't know, some testing would need to be done, but I think if you manage to start agression at level 2 (which should easily be done) and snowball your advantage from that, it would be insanely hard to lose that lane. | ||

The fact that they refused to surrender a lost game for 25 minutes mustn't have helped my perception of her role later, though. | ||

Support morgana could counter it, focusing on black shield + cdr. Otherwise, a carry bot with mediocre farm + a conventional support may still be better mid/late-game than a blitz+ali with a few kills. The blitz+ali team would be best served running a ranged AD solo such as ez, urgot, corki, or cait to flesh out their team, and not everyone knows their AD solo matchups that well | ||

Things to consider: - I doubt this is good in competetive play, but I was assuming MoonBear was just looking for a viable option to play Blitz. This being said, it would probably be played in solo Q with a duo, so counterpicking a support Morgana seems very unlikely. - A reason being is you'd still pick a ranged carry (preferably Vayne or Corki I guess) to solo top. Combine it with, say, Udyr as a jungler and I bet the enemy team will be very confused where Blitz is actually gonna be played. - You'd have a ranged carry freefarming top, likely dominating his lane. Ideally, you'd have a superbly farmed ranged carry with a nicely fed tanky DPS Blitz. But yeah, as said, I think your points are quite valid. I was just thinking of a way to play BC for MoonBear, and I think the setup I came up with COULD work. Obviously would need tons of testing/adjusting. | ||

The opponents ad carry is not vayne or ez, or maybe graves now The opponents support is not janna The opposing top laner won't crush your ad ranged top laner (ie gp v cait favors cait) You already secured garen or equally powerful top lanai with high damage and cc (which you'll actually be taking bot) You have a magic dps jungler ala ww or amumu In these circumstances blitz is a great fifth pick | ||

Doesn't matter what they say, their gonna keep on making champions because champions bring in money. Its just like Halo. It was supposed to end with Reach, and they SAID they wouldn't make Halo 4, but lo and behold, Halo 4 is going to be released. 2) Even if they do have a set number of champions, releasing them every other week will just burn out the amount of time people will play the game. No new releases --> no new mechanics/gameplay ---> boredom. 3) Releasing a champion every other week never lets the actual game to accept the new character, making balancing hard as balls to do. You'll have a hectic amount of imbalances for a really long period of time. | ||

However there are obvious flaws when transitioning into the state of releasing champions: 1) Fans will probably be in an outrage 2) Perhaps it will create more of a reduce in income not an increase. I dunno man, maybe they should do a survey or something to see the ratio on who would be in favour of the idea and who wouldn't | ||

Not to step on your toes or anything, but it was Bungie that said they weren't going to make Halo 4, and they didn't. Microsoft formed it's own game studio (343 Industries I believe) to make the next halo games. ON TOPIC: I don't have an issue with the champ releases so long as they keep reducing the price of old champs so there's still new stuff for me to play. Riot actually does a pretty fair job of balancing the game so I'm not gonna argue with their business model. | ||

I thought 343 Industries were the people in Bungie that still wished to continue the Halo series, and broke off. Thats what i heard at least | ||
